I got almost 4 minutes of those 5 minutes covered for you.

(Don't be racist please. Sebastian is totally a lobster.)

Start my new shift tomorrow. Day starts at noon, ends at midnight. This is gonna be murder on my normal sleep cycle at first .___.

Sounds like the perfect job for me - but I can't really drive all that well...

I see no problem here.

Sad: I cannot think today.

I have occasional moments of disturbing clarity where I realise that I know exactly how easy it would be to, for example, drive a kitchen knife through my hand into a counter. Or that if I wanted to, I could be dead inside ten minutes.

One man's disturbing is another man's everyday routine.

I keep regretting going into computer science instead of biology, because now it'll be very hard to engineer a virus that will kill off the entire human population   Ahh, hindsight ...

If it makes you feel better, a computer virus would probably have a better chance than a biological one. The problem with a biological one is that I don't think we know how to set it up to be dormant until it's widespread enough to kill everyone before effective quarantine measures get put in place (and they will), but I think that might be easier with programming. Of course, the problem there is distribution, since the systems you can use to kill everyone on earth are certainly not networked to the Internet, so you'll have to get pretty creative, maybe pursue a career in military engineering or something just to get access. In either case, you'd have to be smarter than everyone else working in the relevant field, though.

... Huh, first time I've given advice on the practicality of human extinction. Probably not a thing I should be doing. Oh well!

On the bay12 forums, it was just a matter of time.

Pretty sure this is not the first time it has happened.

I missed the context so I've to argue that we've our own system to counter any virus. The computer needs to have one installed to combat their viruses, and even then its configured for certain operating systems only.
Unless I'm wrong in believing that Windows viruses don't work on Mac/Vista and such.

Sad: Finaaals. I should've done MORE in my hobbies than this. More updates on schedule. Less panic. Y u suck up my freetime, school, or what I believe should be my freetime.

Vista is a windows operating system. Windows viruses wouldn't work on Mac or Linux, though, no.

[Bauglir]

I thought Vista was, itself, a Windows virus?

[Steelmagic]

No, see a virus intends to mess with your computer and make it run slow.

[Tiruin]

I should've said Linux. Yay sleep deprivation! >_<

[Arx]

No, see a virus intends to mess with your computer and make it run slow.

...isn't that an exact description of Vista?

[Helgoland]

Vista is, in fact, a piece of anti-virus software, because nothing runs on Vista.

You shouldn't be trying to run something on Vista in the first place. The idea is that you use something to run from Vista, as quickly as possible.
